Structure-Activity Relationships on Cinnamoyl Derivatives as Inhibitors of p300 Histone Acetyltransferase

Human p300 is a polyhedric transcriptional coactivator that plays a crucial role in acetylating histones on specific lysine residues. A great deal of evidence shows that p300 is involved in several diseases, including leukemia, tumors, and viral infection. Its involvement in pleiotropic biological roles and connections to diseases provide the rationale to determine how its modulation could represent an amenable drug target. Several p300...
